Options

• 4 cm

• 8 cm

• 6 cm

• 7 cm

Answer 1

Area of a triangle is 24 cm² and its height is 6 cm. Its base is 8 cm.

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: 

Area = `1/2` × base × height

Here, Area = 24 cm² and Height = 6 cm.

Substituting these values,

24 = `1/2` × base × 6

24 = 3 × base

base = `24/3`

base = 8 cm

Therefore, the base is 8 cm.
